Speedy deletion nomination of User:Affinity community services


A tag has been placed on User:Affinity community services, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising,. Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit |the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. —C.Fred (talk) 22:34, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Username concerns
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Affinity community services) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 22:34, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for spamming or advertising. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Kinu t/c 22:35, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

This page should not be speedy deleted because...
This page should not be speedy deleted because...

There are many social, civic, and political organizations like National Organization of Women, the NAACP, and the Arcus Foundation on Wikipedia. I was merely editing a page for Affinity Community Services, which is also a social justice organization.

Please explain to me why Affinity Community Services has been blocked. This is not spam at all. --Affinity Community Services (talk) 22:39, 6 August 2011 (UTC)


 * The block on this account was in part for the username: your account must represent you as a person and not your organization. (Something like Acsfan would probably be acceptable as a username.) However, the major issue was that attempt to use the account for spamming purposes: the text on your user page was spam. (Frankly, it read like it was copy-and-pasted from ACS's website, which would've been a copyright infringement, but I didn't check.) It was not written in the neutral style of an encyclopedia article, so whether it was in user space or the main encyclopedia, it was subject to deletion. —C.Fred (talk) 22:48, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
